We are looking at helping a campus at a school. They want to livestream their services and worship. They also might need internet for other things (i.e. streaming videos, accessing church office resources, etc). They meet in a school that has "guest access" that you need to log into every...

I have had a number of well meaning friends get wrapped up in the Hebrew Roots movement. It usually starts off fairly benign. But eventually, they start questioning all the books that Paul wrote (because they conflict with their view) and question Peter's vision of eating unclean animals. All...

Archery is great. I love it. But it is not something you pick up and just do. Furthermore, if you want the best accuracy for the least amount of work, just get a crossbow. However, if you want to just get some meat, it is best to use a gun... even better, raise it yourself. I know it is...

Get yourself a "sawyer mini" water filter (approx $20 on Amazon or at WalMart). Probably the best filter to come out for hikers in the last few years. There is also a similar product called "LifeStraw". Either one will filter out almost any germ. I used more expensive filters when hiking in the...

:cry::cry::cry::cry: As an aside, the pain that people are going through is way worse than most people imagine. I sometimes feel sick to my stomach after helping others, knowing what they are dealing with. We all should strive to befriend people in church we never talk to. They need friendship...

Thank you!

I like that! Good example. Because of the path you took on your way to finding Jesus, you have a unique "in" that allows you to speak to the hearts of those in a similar situation to your own.

I appreciate all the replies everyone. This is giving me things to think about. He has become a good friend and we serve together and it feels like my heart is being torn apart by this. I know this is just one person, but his family and my family are close. He is definitely leading. Although...

How about bring them to church for a Sunday. Maybe doing something special in the children's area. Another idea would be to take your horses to town festivals or events and hand out tracts or invitations to a local church. People are naturally attracted to horses and you having a horse with...

We somewhat recently had a new senior/lead pastor come on board and he has been doing a lot of good things. The church is growing, and there is a new energy in the air. God is using this man. However, as with most major changes, the change itself can be hard for some. One of our associate...

Just a bit of advice on the "threats to cancel the wedding". I generally recommend that the threat of divorce should "never" be allowed in marital arguments. It is the moral equivalent of pointing a gun at someone in an altercation. So while threatening to cancel a wedding is not on the same...

Lol, I think you will find my profile picture to be exactly like Keith Green. What a fine man and role model he was.

For point 1, while a moral issue, I would not necessarily write him off. Pastors are not immune from temptation and the fact that he sexually desires you is probably good for your upcoming marriage. It is not ok that he pushes these boundaries, but in my opinion, you might just be the stronger...

Given the church environment, the previous offenders do know the children in the church and their familes. Regarding myths and stats. See here... https://www.smart.gov/pdfs/TheEffectivenessofTreatmentforAdultSexualOffenders.pdf The average recidivism rates for violent crime and any crime were...

It becomes difficult because... well this information tends to divide a church. Not only that but people on both sides have legitimate concerns. Nobody wants their child, or any child molested. Nobody. But deep down, we also know that God can forgive the vilest of sinners. But we also do not...
